What relays do you need? Try adding a bit more detail to your post.
Have you tried the basic auto parts stores? Oriellys, Autozone..... Etc....

Thank you. I was surprised that this was so easy. My mechanic made it sound like they were impossible to find.

Like Nicksan said, need more information about your van and what realy do you need? There are several different relays used on these vans. Which one do you need? What does it control? ECT..

My old van uses a starter relay, horn relay, fuel pump relay, eec relay, and blower motor relay.. all of them are very different

I needed a passenger side airbag relay and an power lock relay. Based on the suggestion, I found both at my local NAPA auto parts.
Now I just need to find where they are so I can replace them.

Nicksan can probably help you with that too since he has a 94 van. My old 88 never had air bags and has manual windows! But I am glad you found them!

Check out this Link. You should be able to locate them.

https://fuse-box.info/ford/ford-e-se...ses-and-relays

Maybe #4 and #5 in the fuse box in the cab, on the drivers side above the E-brake pedal.

Thank you both. The relays are more like you find in the box under the hood. Cube shaped. A video on the internet suggested the power locks relay was behind the glove compartment on an F series, but I haven't found a resource yet on the E-series.

Most relays as found in the F-Series and E-Series are fairly common in Ford vehicles. They'll be 4 prong connection to the Battery Junction Box (aka underhood fuse box) but their amp rating may vary depending which circuit they affect.

Looking through FordPartsGiant is a great source if only for OEM part numbers. They're quickly becoming my "go to" reference source as of late.

Oohhhhh, You posted about relays, not fuses. Sorry.
Yes, theres a box under the hood that has relays and fuses, and there are some relays that are mounted to the firewall, but not sure about your year.

Why do you think you need to replace relays and not fuses?
Could you give a bit more info?
